So that God may prove those who believe, and eliminate the disbelievers.

Dhe që Allahu t'i pastrojë besimtarët e t'i shkatërrojë jobesimtarët.
আর আল্লাহ যাতে মু’মিনদেরকে পবিত্র ও পরিশুদ্ধ করতে পারেন এবং কাফিরদেরকে নিশ্চিহ্ন করতে পারেন।
I da bi vjernike očistio, a nevjernike uništio.
I da bi vjernike očistio, a nevjernike uništio.
e fii yo Alla Laɓɓin ɓen gooŋɗinɓe O Halka heeferɓe ɓen.
და (ეს მარცხი უჰუდთან მოხდა იმისათვის), რომ ალლაჰს განეწმინდა ისინი, ვინც ირწმუნეს და წაეშალა ურწმუნონი [გაენადგურებინა ურწმუნოები და გამოევლინა თვალთმაქცნი].
Und damit Allah diejenigen, die glauben, (von den Sünden) läutere und die Ungläubigen untergehen lasse.
Και για να δοκιμάσει ο Αλλάχ εκείνους που πιστεύουν (και να τους εξαγνήσει από τις αμαρτίες τους) και να καταστρέψει τους άπιστους.
तथा ताकि अल्लाह ईमान वालों को विशुद्ध कर दे और काफ़िरों को विनष्ट कर दे।
E affinché Allāh purifichi i credenti e distrugga i miscredenti.
141. Ir kad Allahas galėtų išbandyti (arba apvalyti) tikinčiuosius (nuo nuodėmių) ir sunaikinti netikinčiuosius.
Rabbiin warra amanan qulqulleessuufi kaafiroota immoo balleessuf (kana taasise).
И чтобы Аллах очистил тех, кто уверовал, и сокрушил отвергших веру.
И да би вернике очистио, а невернике уништио.
Na pia ili Mwenyezi Mungu awasafishe walioamini na awafutilie mbali makafiri.
Och detta sker för att Gud ska rena de troende och låta de otrogna gå under.
Bir de Allah, iman edenleri arındırmak ve kâfirleri helak etmek için böyle yapar.
(یہ وجہ بھی تھی) کہ اللہ تعالیٰ ایمان والوں کو بالکل الگ کر دے اور کافروں کو مٹا دے.[1]
5 cleared translations, newest first, by year of publication, so the modern English comes before the historical ones. That is an ordering by date, not a judgement. Each is shown complete — this platform never excerpts a translation — and each renders under its translator's name. No translation here is marked as the correct one.
Which translations appear here is set by copyright: they are the ones whose rights could be documented and cleared. The selection is not a judgement that these are the best.
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The translators word this verse differently
And do not waver, nor feel remorse. You are the superior ones, if you are believers.
Faint not nor grieve, for ye will overcome them if ye are (indeed) believers
Do not give way nor grieve, for ye shall have the upper hand if ye but be believers
And be not fainthearted, and be not sorrowful: For ye shall gain the upper hand if ye be believers
And be not dismayed, neither be ye grieved; for ye shall be superior to the unbelievers if ye believe

If a wound afflicts you, a similar wound has afflicted the others. Such days We alternate between the people, that God may know those who believe, and take martyrs from among you. God does not love the evildoers.
If ye have received a blow, the (disbelieving) people have received a blow the like thereof. These are (only) the vicissitudes which We cause to follow one another for mankind, to the end that Allah may know those who believe and may choose witnesses from among you; and Allah loveth not wrong-doers
If a sore touch you, a sore like it has touched people: these are days which we make to alternate amongst mankind that God may know who it is that believe, and may take from you witnesses, for God loves not the unjust
If a wound hath befallen you, a wound like it hath already befallen others: we alternate these days of successes and reverses among men, that God may know those who have believed, and that He may take martyrs from among you, - but God loveth not the wrongful doers
If a wound hath happended unto you in war, a like wound hath already happened unto the unbelieving people: And we cause these days of different success interchangeably to succeed each other among men; that God may know those who believe, and may have martyrs from among you: -- God loveth not the workers of iniquity

The translators word this verse differently
Or do you expect to enter Paradise, before God has distinguished those among you who strive, and before He has distinguished the steadfast?
Or deemed ye that ye would enter paradise while yet Allah knoweth not those of you who really strive, nor knoweth those (of you) who are steadfast
Do ye think that ye can enter Paradise and God not know those of you who have fought well, or know the patient
Thought ye that ye should enter Paradise ere God had taken knowledge of those among you who did valiantly, and of those who steadfastly endure
Did ye imagine that ye should enter paradise, when as yet God knew not those among you who fought strenuously in his cause; nor knew those who persevered with patience

You used to wish for death before you have faced it. Now you have seen it before your own eyes.
And verily ye used to wish for death before ye met it (in the field). Now ye have seen it with your eyes
Why, ye longed for death before ye met it! Now ye have looked upon it and ye halt
Ye had desired death ere ye met it. But ye have now seen it - and ye have beheld it - and fled from it
Moreover ye did sometime wish for death before that ye met it; but ye have now seen it, and ye looked on, but retreated from it

These figures count the words the translations share. They measure wording, not meaning, and they do not say which translation is right.
Derived measure: mean pairwise Jaccard distance over the lowercased word sets of the 5 renderings above — 0.48 on a scale where 0 means identical wording and 1 means no shared words. It is computed, not judged.
The page says a verse is worded differently only above the cut below. The cut is a stated convention, not a property of the text, and it can be changed.
One bar per pair of renderings, longest bar for the pair sharing fewest words. Every pair is shown; none is singled out.
The platform does not say which is right, and does not characterise what the difference means. The renderings are placed together so the difference is visible; reading it is the reader's work.

7 sources stand behind this page. Each is listed once, in the order the page first cites it, with the licence it was cleared under and what was actually read. Nothing on this page rests on a source that is not here.
CLEARED. Licence read verbatim from the block embedded in this very file. Ingested exactly as shipped: no normalisation, no stripping of marks, no Unicode recomposition.
CLEARED on a licence read first-hand from the translator's own download page, not from an aggregator. Tanzil also hosts this translation, but under a blanket "non-commercial purposes only" term that directs the user to the translator or publisher for permission - a hosting disclaimer, not a grant - so the grant was taken from the licensor directly. The "God" edition was ingested; ClearQuran also publishes an "Allah" edition, differing in how the divine name is rendered, which is not ingested.
CLEARED ON THE WORK, WITH TWO RECORDED CAVEATS ON THIS COPY. (1) Rights basis is the expired copyright term, NOT the redistributing repository's licence. That repository dedicates its contents to the public domain under the Unlicense while also redistributing plainly in-copyright translations (Abdel Haleem, Saheeh International, The Study Quran), so it is dedicating rights it cannot hold and its blanket grant is not relied upon here. (2) The file declares its own upstream as tanzil.net, and Tanzil attaches a non-commercial condition to its TRANSLATION distributions, though not to its Qur'anic text. Since Pickthall's copyright has expired, nobody holds rights in these words and no licence is required from anyone; Tanzil's terms are a contract binding those who download from Tanzil, which we did not. The chain is nonetheless not spotless and Anwar may prefer a clean digitisation of the 1930 printing. NOT VERIFIED: that this digital text matches the 1930 first printing rather than a later revised edition. No page images were collated. Recorded as unverified rather than presented as established. SERVED TEXT DIFFERS FROM THE CITED FILE AT ONE VERSE, 37:97: the file reads "red-hotfire" (a glued token, also in Gutenberg #16955); the served row reads "red-hot fire", restored 2026-09-13 from Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (London: George Allen & Unwin, printed for Alfred A. Knopf; 1930), p. 460, XXXVII 97 - scan archive.org in.ernet.dli.2015.216140, PDF page 475; banked data/derivation-sources/pickthall-1930-dli-2015.216140-text.pdf (sha256 70e81146c97fa3a590243a82e04e349108546074787e2551a78c616202138870) on Anwar Malik's grant.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is not stated by the redistributor and the printing is unverified. No statement of purpose is recorded for Palmer because none was sourced from his own preface in this pass; nothing is asserted on his behalf.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. TWO edition caveats. (1) The upstream is not stated by the redistributor. (2) Rodwell's own edition PRESENTS THE SURAHS IN HIS OWN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, not the mushaf order — he says so in his preface. This digital text is keyed to mushaf order, so it derives from a restored-order printing (such as the Everyman edition) rather than from Rodwell's own arrangement. Which printing is not stated and has not been established.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is NOT STATED by the redistributor, so the printing it represents is unverified; Sale's text was reprinted and re-edited many times between 1734 and 1900. Recorded as unverified rather than assumed to be the first edition.
CLEARED. Parallel edition, held in ayah_text_variants. It sits alongside the Uthmani spine for search normalisation and is never used to correct it.
